Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Naan bread (to serve)
- Steamed rice (to serve)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken, salt, garlic powder, sweet paprika, curry powder, and Greek yogurt. Mix well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and diced onion. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in tomato sauce, sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), garam masala, and curry powder. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and remaining butter. Stir until smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve with naan bread or steamed rice.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control spiciness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
